[Healeys] Sad news - Rallyist Killed in Healey 100

[Jim Ryan]

Well, THAT was harsh.  You might want to forward that to his family just so
they know how you feel about him.  When exactly is it you think  we should
all stop driving?  Is it 75?  80?  I'm 71, I just want to get your advice
on what age I'm endangering other people.

That was easily the most insensitive posting I have ever seen on this list.
